Groundhog Day

It's Groundhog Day again for Classified, I mean he's that guy, but I guess so is Mad Child (of Swollen Members). The amount of work that each has put down in regards to making a real living off the music they provide is beyond respectable.


Checking back a couple of Junos, Swollen Members have owned the new millenium of the B.R.R.

• 2001 - Balance
• 2002 - Bad Dreams
• 2003 - Monsters in the Closet
• 2007 - Black Magic (just recieved)

That's 4 out of 7 years since 2000 and a perfect 4 for 4 on releases!

What I find really sucks about this is that Classified has been the complete opposite. With nothing to show from all the quality that he has delivered. 11 official releases to be exact, dating back to '95. Hopefully, he's not waiting for his recognition of sorts from the Junos, espcially last year when it was destined to be dropped on Class due to hometown advantage. It makes more sense to just keep doing his thing, and doing it well.

Shoud there be a petition? cuz this is just disheartening and I'm not even Classified. Let me know what should do.

Replacement Killers

Coming off an interesting weekend that included back2back 5a.m. post club snacks and a steady consumption of alcohol, I have to say there was a standout showing by 2 young urban spitfires. Drake & Trey Songz decided to film their video this weekend for 'Replacement Girl' in the video vixen capitol of the universe. My hometown! U can check the music on Drake's myspace.
There was a great party thrown @ Next Level on the shores of icy Lake Ontario by the boys @ Roundtable. There was also a live set by Trey Songz that included his hits. Personally, I think he has way more to offer than his mainstream hits, but hey. Soon after, Drake jumped in as they collabed for the upcoming video of the year... well.. we'll see how it goes. I got faith in 235 Films.

Breakfast with Summer

This past weekend one of the harder working urban artist in Canada shot another video for his upcoming album "Music Starts with M". Malicious has dropped 2 videos over the past year, Heat Wave & Heavy M-T-L, that recieved consistent airplay on national video outlets (MuchVibe). Still a member of Offsides, Malish allowed RT! to work the wheel for the 3rd straight video taking over a grocery store for "Breakfast".

There must be some energy going with this new track because there's already a parody on youtube.Rotate your Screen&Enjoy:

Can U Feel The Pressure?

This is not a diss post, just a real post. I hope everyone can find the humour that I try to extend to the readers.

So I'm looking for another blog from Canada, Toronto to be exact. I remember this particular blog having a "Belly" behind the scenes video shoot on one of their posts. so I search the back links for youtube footage. No dice, but I start looking thru the related videos section, and these are the links I get.

Belly Dance

Ghetto Arab

Sorry Belly, it is what it is.
Oh... and if anyone knows related Toronto/Urban/Lifestyle blogs please comment.
